I'm Earldo Maglara, an NSCA personal trainer here at Vy Fitness Center, and this is what is an average deadlift. As we know, the deadlift is a great exercise that focuses on your quads your hamstrings and your glutes. The strength standards for the deadlift depends on which fitness level you are at. There are three fitness levels that you should be aware of. The first one is the untrained, or the beginner. The second one is the intermediate, anywhere from two to six months of training, and the last one is the advanced, anywhere of up to a year of training. For example, if you are a man 20 years old and you weigh abut 180 pounds and you're at the intermediate level, your average deadlift should be about 1.25 times your weight. So that comes to about 225 pounds, which is your average deadlift.
